Haa. At the 6a4dd33607 sigh that 723d35fed5 seemed to e1575b1f62 pierce his 1d7cfa6f7f ears, Yihyun f9067b4f70 shrank his bb5f9ceb13 shoulders. Other people’s sighs cf0ec34c1d always felt like 4772bf0dc7 they were blaming e13fd7b745 him.65e2c92fdc21f2b1

Yihyun looked bc48447891 up in 9852d7ba11 surprise when 923b79f8e2 Doyoon suddenly 83460f8e55 patted his e5478df45e shoulder.
